The CEO, CMO, COO and one or two other big dogs are in North Platte yard today and have a town meeting this afternoon (after their tour of the yard). What’s the meaning behind the tour and town hall, no one knows...........

Undercover reconnaissance. I guess visits are going to happen at all terminals. They're simply doing a walk-through to see where they can continue to make cuts and bone its employees! Enjoy
Jim Vena wants to see the Stuhr Museum
Somebody hand him a tissue. I can’t stand to see a grown man cry.
id--ts! Go ahead and think you are invincible. Ask Hinkle how that worked for them. Do your job well and show them your job is valuable. Be a smart @#$*& and try to impress them ie. cost them money by being stupid and you WILL be taken out of the equation. They have already PROVEN that! Grow up. And yes The civic leaders in North Plate are horrible with no long range plan. They have done to North Platte what PSR is doing to UP!
you get a furlough and you get a furlough and everyone gets a furlough yaaaaaaa just kidding i hope their car gets hit by a train not to seriously hurt them just enough that everyone goes maybe these guys shouldn't be in charge
Go ahead and close North Platte, I dare them. I double dog dare them, no wait!!! Triple dog dare them. It would be the last thing they did working for the grand Old U.P
Oh man. I hope none of them there big wig alumnus of the University of Phoenix Online try to talk to me. I might soil myself in the presence of greatness. I’m going to be nervous all day.
UP will wreck the nation.
They have around 400 carman
I’m sure they’ll get the carman. Don’t the have something like 200 ???
Yard rationalization, don’t be thinking North Platte can’t change. Every yard, every location can and will be affected. North Platte isn’t even on North, South rail only East, West. Hinkle was on North, South, East, West, and a major international freight interchange, all gone. Be wary North Platte will not look the same in 60 days.
There has been two rounds of layoffs at the diesel shop but nothing yet to Carmen and not too many for transportation. Maintenance of way, idk anything.....
UP is big car wreck. You know you shouldn’t slow down and look but you can’t help it.
Probably because the town is panicking because city fathers are going in debt to built housing. Too much relying on UP instead of concentrating on other jobs to stabilize the economy. Town is dying anyway.
Have they had layoffs in north platte?
CEO's been up there 3 times in 5 days.
Supposedly JV wants to close it but I don't think that's possible.
